Three specters floating in the pallid light
That renders visible the endless night
OF the Hereafter, chatted, half in mirth
And half in musing, of their lives on earth.
The first with wrinkled face this story told,
In tones that sounded like the clink of gold:
Zone day Love, Wealth and Wisdom came to me,
And babe me choose the fairest OF the three.
1 jeered at Wisdom and at sweet Love sneered,
The prize awarding when fair Wealth appeared.
The flying years broughf opulence untold
Until in priceless luxury 1 rolled;
But with each treasure was some trouble wed
Until such countless trouble filled my bed
That Hell was Heaven to the life 1 lied"
The second ghost, whose eyes were filed with
doubt
And long denying, slowly murmured out:
Your allegory fits my life If
Am l or ever had reality.
Impelled by fate, l chose great wisdom's self
In preference to passion or to pelf.
/ grew the mental monarch of an age,
Aud left my doubts to man as heritage.
Hell is not; nor is Heaven. But instead
Are phantom dreams of baseless hope or dread.
Dreamed by the dead who know not they are
dead"
The third a smiling specter, DER whose head
A radiance shone, unto the others said:
And l chose Love. Through mortal years that
choice
Made every fiber of my heart rejoice;
And through the gates of death a splendor cast
That makes the future beauteous as the past.
l knew the Lord was love; but now l see
That love is lord throughout eternity.
In earthly life it breaks the primal curse;
In heaven it blazes never to disperse,
Irradiating all the universe"
William Z. S. Fales In The Journalist.

The childhood of Dickens was SO shad-
owed by poverty, and his sensitive and
imaginative mind was so keenly alive to
his position, that it is hardly possible that
he could draw an absolutely impartial
picture of his parents. His mother had a
keen appreciation of the droll and of the
pathetic, and likewise considerable dra-
matte talent. She vas n comely little
woman, with handsome, bright eyes, and
n genial, agreeable person. From her
Dickens undoubtedly inherited his tenn
permanent and intellectual gifts. She pos
sesscd an extraordinary sense of the ludi-
CrOus, and her power of imitation was
something astonishing. Her perception
was quick, and she unconsciously noted
everything that came under her observa-
ton. In describing ridiculous occur
rences, her tone and gestures would be
inimitable, while her manner was of the
quaintest. Dickens declares that to her
he owed his first desire for knowledge,
and hat his earliest passion for reading
was awakened by his mother, who taught
him not only the first rudiments of Eng
lish, but also n little of Latin. Poverty
saddened and darkened many years of her
life, and her children were early COM
PEELED to leave her and earn their own
living, but they all honored and loved her
as she deseryed.-Woman's ArgOsy.

Ostrich Racing In Africa.

We were treated to an exhibition which
was a novelty worth travelling miles to
see-an ostrich race. Two little carts,
the frames of which were made of BAN
boo and the wheels similar to those of n
velocipede, weighing, all the gear in
cluded, thirty-seven pounds, were brought
forth and four very large ostriches trained
to the business and harnessed abreast
were attached to each one. The race
course was a fiat piece of country about
four miles and n quarter in length; the dis
lance to be Travelled was four miles straight
away and return. Two of the smallest
specimens of African humanity ever seen,
less than four feet in height and weigh
ing about seventy-two pounds apiece,
Bosjesmen, pure and simple, were select
ed rs charioteers, and all was ready. I
had been provided with a magnificent
sixteen hands high English hunter, hav-
ing a record placing him among the very
best saddle horses of Cape Town, and was
quarter way toward the turn of the
course, pushing my fresh steed to do his
best, when the feathered bipeds started,
and before l reached the turn the ostrich
chariots had passed me, going and return
ing like a flash of lightning. / did see
them, and yet 50 quickly did they vanish
into distance that a pen picture, valuable
for its accuracy, cannot be given. The
time taken at the starting point by several
of the spectators was, for the four miles
n return, nearly nineteen minutes, not
very fast for ostriches, so they said, but
too rapid for English hunters, / know

UNITED STATES AND EUROPE.
Fixed Habits and Old Methods of Work.

Fixed Habits and Old Methods of Work.
men in the Old World.
Here we've prospered in everything
that we have undertaken, and today we
stand at least 100 years ahead of the
countries of continental Europe, not only
In OIL improvement in telegraphy and all
the mechanical arts, but in everything
that goes to make a nation eminently
great, prosperous and permanent. Whilst
they have held on with a strange and
vlsehke t~enacity to their old habits and
old ways of work, we've gone on chang
ing, altering, amending, always improv-
ing. With them it seems almost a crime
to step aside from the beaten track that
Their forefathers followed.
There the workmen of today use the
crude implements and machinery of wears
ago, things which we nave long since
discarded and replaced with improved
tools and machinery capable of doing in
fnitely more and better work, and pro-
ducing larger and more profitable re-
turns. Again, they rarely, if ever,
change their patterns, and some of them
call this conservatism. Is it any wonder,
then, that the workman who clings to his
old fashioned patterns, looms and tools
Is badly left in the march of progress and
of civilization? Or that the number of
his patrons and the prices of his goods
are constantly lessening?
Don't forget another point-while he
gets less for the products of his skill, we
get considerably more, and we pay about
the same amount, possibly very much
less, for the crude article than he does.
Take it any way you like, view it in any
phase that you please, your conclusion
will undoubtedly be that the country in
which such a state of things exists cannot
keep pace with a nation whose citizens
are more enlightened and more enterpris-
ing.
OF the great nations of Europe, Ger
many is, to my mind, far ahead of all
others, and under the admirable and wise
measures proposed and fostered by Bis
marck it is rapidly leaving France and
England behind. Its industries are great,
multiplying and progressive, both in their
number, character and capacity. So
much have l been struck with these facts
that l have started a large factory there,
and although only a twelve month old, it
is producing very satisfactory returns.
Germany is taking away much of the
French trade, and is continually on the
lookout for improvements in the methods
of manufacturing her stuffs and fabrics
and in her designs,-Interview with Mer-
chant Wanamaker.
